Did you know that Belgium covers one of the largest permanent scale model of our Solar System. Space for Muco was the project that was realized between May and October 2004 on behalf of the Belgian Association for Fight against Mucoviscidosis.
The scale is 1:40 000 000; The Sun as the center of our Solar System is located in Oudergem near Brussels, Pluto is located in Florenville at a distance of 147.8km from the Sun (Oudergem).
Last year I made a tour to find this "forgotten" Solar System of Belgium.

Unfortunately, the statue was removed from it's location. I'm still trying since september 2018 untill today to understand what happened with the statue. I have contact with a member of the city staff but it seems difficult to get the answers.
